CNN's resident gun control advocate Piers Morgan faced off with Ted Nugent Monday, and as was expected, the bullets were flying.

By the end of the first segment, Nugent told his arrogant adversary, "You're the perfect poster boy to stand up for the things that make no sense at all to common sense people" (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary):

PIERS MORGAN, HOST: I don't understand, and I want you to tell me, in the least inflammatory way possible, why outside of hog hunting, which I get is a problem in Texas, anybody needs one of those [an AR-15]? And if the answer isn't convincing, why the least we couldn't do to those poor families who lost people to that weapon is not just remove those from the equation?

TED NUGENT: Well, a number of things. First of all, I've been monitoring your gun debates. Go ahead and take it to the bank, you will never understand. I really don't believe you'll ever grasp…

MORGAN: What don't I understand?

NUGENT: You don’t understand that it's a simple inanimate tool that tens of millions of American families own that have never caused a problem, never had an accident, and will never commit a crime. You have these aberrations that are such a minute percentage. So my prayers are as strong as anyone…

MORGAN: 100,000 Americans get hit by gunfire, Ted. It’s not a minor aberration.

NUGENT: Let me stop you there, because I’ve been hearing you say this, and you are so full of crap. Listen to me, that statistic includes bad guys shot by cops and intruders shot by homeowners. So that figure is bogus. So you have to…

MORGAN: That’s the figure, 100,000.

NUGENT: Not, it's not an accurate figure.

MORGAN: 100,000 Americans get hit by gunfire a year.

NUGENT: Those include bad guys getting shot by cops, Piers.

MORGAN: 18,000 of those kill themselves with guns.

NUGENT: Japan has a higher suicide rate and they’re not allowed to get down wind of a gun. Your turn.

MORGAN: How many people got murdered by guns in Japan in the last two or three years each year?

NUGENT: We’re not talking about guns, we’re talking about the act of murder. Do you care about murders or do you only care about murders with guns?

MORGAN: I care about all deaths.

NUGENT: I don't think you do. I think you care about guns. I think you're obsessed with guns. 99.99 percent of the gun owners of America are wonderful people that you are hanging around with here today, perfectly safe, perfectly harmless, wonderful, loving, generous, giving, caring people. Would you leave us the hell alone? Go after the nut jobs, go after the murderers, because I don't know any. We need to lock up the bad guys, and when people show dangerous, murderous intent, which everyone one of these mass murderers showed, all their neighbors, their family, their teachers, their fellow students, they all knew they were crazy. But Piers, we didn't stop them because we're worried about hurting their feelings. We have a madman problem in America where they're running around. We have a felony recidivism problem in America. Let's focus on that together and leave the rest of us alone.

MORGAN: A, I won't leave you alone because this is a debate that has to be had in America.

NUGENT: And we appreciate that because you're the perfect poster boy to stand up for the things that make no sense at all to common sense people.

The funny thing about leftists is, in their quest of elitism, they’ll disregard common sense because it is “common”, and they are better than that.

[dennisw]

One thing about Ted Nugent....he is very quick verbally and knows his subject matter which is a lethal combination. I like Ted taking on this posh Englishman, this effin idiot

[Chickenhawk Warmonger]

Brilliant takedown of “Musket” Morgan by the Nuge! Ted should be the one handling press conferences by the NRA and other 2nd amendment supporters. The gun-grabbers couldn’t handle the truth coming from Nugent!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Wow I will give Docks credit though for meeting with the Nuge. I thought he wouldn’t have the guts.

Somebody, please revoke his green card.

[albie]

No politician interviewed by this little british turd has ever come close to handing his butt to him on a platter like this.

[JaguarXKE]

I don't understand, and I want you to tell me, in the least inflammatory way possible

Morgan starts off by making the presumption that Ted's response will be "inflammatory." What a condescending pr*ck!

Applies to the Prez and his minions as well. Classic quote...lol

They also disregard the truth and even make up krap like "globull warming."

[ontap]

God I love Ted Nugent!!!

[EternalVigilance]

There's only one word for those who disarm in the face of violent criminals and terrorists: DEAD.

[SkiKnee]

Piers Morgan: “How many people were murdered by guns in Japan...?”

Rational human being: “They were murdered by murderers, you blithering idiot!!!”

[liberalh8ter]

My love affair with Ted continues.....unabated.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

We have a madman problem in America where they're running around.

Ab-so-freakin'-lutely. I saw Docks Morgan once on Madison avenue in New York city so I am assuming he lives there or tapes there? At least he has been there so I assume he has looked around the streets, even on Madison avenue,and seen all the mentally deranged walking around like The Walking dead? And you know what's done about them? Absolutely NOTHING! Why is that? Because every time Republicans try to do something about it, liberals scream bloody hell.

For example in the late 90s Rudy Guliani tried to get them off the street and into mental homes or in jail, and armed guard protected liberals such as Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins organized mass protests until Rudy wussed out.

And what is the result? Well just as an example, from December to now we've had FOUR people pushed onto subway tracks while waiting for the train by mental patients. Two of those four were killed. We've also had people stabbed for no reason, people beaten. I remember a few years ago we even had one lovely individual who decided to take off his clothes, take an electric saw from a construction site and start chopping people up. Yes, these are the people who should be walking the streets.

EVERY single day you will find a story of somebody mentally ill injuring or killing someone and that is JUST in New York city. And what do liberals focus on? An inanimate object! Liberals are the freakin problem! Not freakin guns!

[knittnmom]

That was certainly the best read of the morning! :-)

[MrB]

Morgan’s focus on guns seems to indicate a mentally unbalanced individual...
